California’s bridge to nowhere is a clear reminder of the high-speed rail boondoggle being pushed by liberals like President Biden.
Thanks to smart fiscal policy and a growing economy, the Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimates Wisconsin’s state government will have a surplus of $3.25 billion by the end of the current budget cycle. Following the lead of successful initiatives in other states, Wisconsin should explore allocating a portion of that surplus to create its own volunteer service corps.
At the same time that nearly 40,000 families are being reported for lacking the ability to provide basic needs and care to their children to CPS each year, we have nearly 40,000 non-profits statewide that are designed to support our children, families and communities. Somewhere there lies a disconnect that leads to these reports to CPS rather than referrals or connection to these supportive non-profits.
The short answer: Microsoft leaders, who are familiar with the state, see it as the kind of place where AI innovations in manufacturing can be put to work quickly and with a solid return on investment.
A new project after the Foxconn fiasco comes with its own questions.
But FCC proposal to ban bulk billing could seriously hinder the progress made.
Data shows a clear difference going back a century, including Biden and Trump.
If not full Hamas supporters per se, campus protesters are the useful idiots of terrorists—a zombie army of the dumbest and most gullible kids on campus spouting the vilest but most easily disproven slander imaginable.
Republican US Senate candidate Eric Hovde might want to get off the range.
The Legislative Audit Committee ordered up something we’ve been asking for here at YSDA for a long time: a comprehensive audit of diversity, equity and inclusion programs in Wisconsin state government.
Yet the Universities of Wisconsin is committed to the Republicans’ austerity agenda
The economic contrast in Wisconsin is meant to be unsubtle, but can it sell?
Three out of every four Americans believe crime is getting worse when in fact it has been declining sharply.
Tough-talking Milwaukee liberals refuse to toughen a criminal justice system that is comically lenient.
The recent signing of AB 232/SB 240 marks a momentous shift for citizens who have advocated for the acknowledgement and inclusion of Hmong and Asian-American history and culture as part of Wisconsin history.
Sudden shutdown of Social Development Commission has dire consequences and no easy solution.
Half of the media spreads his lies and chaos to destabilize our nation, while the other half often smothers itself in equivocation.
An informed citizenry is at the heart of America’s 246-year-old experiment in democracy. A free press is foundational to an informed citizenry.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court will soon hear a case involving records related to the voting rights of mentally incompetent people. No matter which side wins, the public has in some ways already lost.
Legislative hopefuls face strict rules, deadlines, paperwork.
